Using Cloth Wipes - Easy DIY cloth wipe dispenser

When Benjamin was born we decided I would stop working to stay home full time. Our first money saving choice was to use cloth diapers. In recent weeks I decided to use cloth wipes.
Now, I'm not that crunchy mama you can hear from across the play room floor talking about how much fluff mail she received this week. But... I do like the idea of saving money and the environmental benefits are a bonus. We will still use disposable wipes when we are out of the house.

Here's how I set up my cloth wipes for easy use!



Find a left over wipes dispenser from your disposable wipes. Now you can fold the cloth wipes so they come out just like a disposable.

1. Place the first wipe down flat. Place the second wipe so it covers half of the first.

2. Fold the first wipe back over the second wipe

3. Lay the third wipe over the folded side.

4. Fold the second wipe back over the third wipe.

Continue folding like this from side to side until your stack of wipes is complete.




Place the stack of wipes in the container and feed the lose end through the cover.
I purchased a spray bottle for water at the dollar store. I like my wipes to be moist. You can add olive oil or another oil of your choosing to the water.
Happy cloth wiping! (sounds fun eh?)
